Baby Farm Animals Star at
Harmony Event
The Harmony Museum teamed up with Butler
County 4-H to sponsor a Small Farm Animals Day
on Saturday, May 11, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the
Harmonist Barn, located at 303 Mercer Road in
Harmony. The event was a chance for families to meet
baby farm animals and the 4-H youths who care for
them. Lambs, goats, rabbits, alpacas and a calf were on
display and available for petting.
The 1805 Harmonist Barn—one of the oldest
existing barns west of the Allegheny Mountains—
contains some of the museum’s collection of early farm
tools and equipment. Antique farm tractors were also
on display, and vendors of farm products and crafts
had their products for sale.
Butler County has 25 different 4-H clubs with more
than 330 members taking on small and large animal
projects as well as sewing, baking, shooting sports and
robotics, among others. It is part of the nation’s largest
non-formal youth development organization that
provides its members, ages 8 to 19, the opportunity
to “learn by doing” through a variety of hands-on
projects.
